After being driven out of the house by the crazy Xue Duo, Lin Mu immediately returned to his rental house.
From a luxurious villa to a cramped rental house, Lin Mu didn't have much psychological disparity.
I thought about it on the bed for a while before opening my laptop and starting to work.
Now that you have decided to take the director and producer route, you need to confirm the project.
Now that the funding problem has been solved, all that's left is to solve other problems.
The most important thing is to determine the subject matter.
Xue Duo said he would give one million if he gave it one million, but there was no moisture at all.
It is impossible to make a movie with this amount of money, and it is probably not enough for an ordinary Internet university.
There were insufficient funds and no manpower, so the shooting cycle had to be fast.
After listing a few conditions, Lin Mu was almost able to confirm the project.
Lin Mu first opened the Douyin short video, took a look at it, searched for popular short dramas, and immediately decided on the direction of the project.
Just shoot a short drama!
Seeing the awkward acting on the screen that was screaming at the audience, Lin Mu suddenly remembered a micro-short drama with equally exaggerated acting.
In other words, the originator of micro-short dramas - "Never Expected"!
Micro-short dramas are short plot videos with a single episode length of five to ten minutes.
While ordering takeout, waiting for the bus, and taking the subway, the complete plot is presented to the audience.
Nowadays, the pace is even faster. If it fails to catch the audience's attention in the first six seconds, then the short play is considered useless.
The nonsensical style of "Never Expected" is just right for today's market.
After choosing the theme, Lin Mu immediately started writing the script.
The data stored in his mind automatically appeared and was entered into the computer along Lin Mu's fingers.
As Lin Mu wrote, he thought about the manpower issue.
"Never Expected" is a short play after all, unlike short videos that can be shot by just one person.
There must be at least six characters in it.
Where can I find someone?
He was originally a small artist, so where did he get the connections?
Um?
How did the original person contact Xue Duo at that time?
Lin Mu stopped typing and looked at the mobile phone placed on the table.
…
In a fly house somewhere.
Lin Mu and Luo Mo sat opposite each other, and the fluorescent lamp hit Luo Mo's bald head, making Lin Mu keep rubbing his eyes.
Looking at Lin Mu's red eyes, Luo Mo sighed: "In the entertainment industry, if you look like this, something will inevitably happen to you. At worst, you can choose the one you like next time."
Lin Mu:?
Did he misunderstand something?
Apparently Luo Mo felt that Lin Mu had been slept with by a certain mother.
Lin Mu did not correct Luo Mo's conjecture. This was not a glorious thing, so it was a misunderstanding.
"No, I finally understand. You can't rely on anyone else but yourself."
Luo Mo raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lin Mu: "Open and bright, that's what you have to think about."
Afterwards, Lin Mu exchanged a few more pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"Brother Mo, I came here this time with the intention of setting up my own project, but I am a bit short on manpower. I would like to ask if you have any suitable candidates."
Luo Mo is an intermediary. He has everything in his hands, including extras in movies and TV shows, audiences in variety shows, wedding photography, and kindergarten firefighting.
The quality is not high, the main focus is to win by quantity.
Lin Mu had also worked for Luo Mo before. They had a good relationship and got the unspoken number from him.
Luo Mo was stunned for a moment and then advised: "Xiao Mu, don't be too extreme. There is no need to start a project. There is no chance to start from scratch now."
Lin Mu shook his head: "Brother Mo, I still want to give it a try. If you have a suitable candidate, just recommend it to me. The commission will remain as usual."
"You..." Luo Mo sighed. Knowing that Lin Mu had a stubborn temper, he did not try to persuade him anymore, but directly asked Lin Mu's request.
Lin Mu was recalling the characters of "Unexpectedly" and said casually, "First of all, he is a wretched bald man. Of course, younger ones are better, and his character should be trustworthy..."
Before Lin Mu finished speaking, Luo Mo's eyes changed: "Why are you kidding me here?"
Lin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up when Luo Mo's bald head flashed: "Brother Mo! Come to my project!"
"What the hell are you planning on me?!"
Lin Mu didn't want to either, but Luo Mo's image was so suitable.
A bit narcissistic, a bit wretched, and Luo Mo can definitely let loose when acting.
It's just that her image is a little bit worse, otherwise she would have gotten mixed up in the entertainment industry a long time ago.
"Unexpectedly" has never been a one-man show that wins based on appearance.
Wu Li Tou cannot be sustained by just a Wang Da Hammer.
The contrast between Mingshou's narcissism, Zimo's meanness, Benyi's vulgarity and Goddess Kong, plus Baike's complaints are the reasons why "Never Expected" became so popular.
But the most important thing now is to fool Luo Mo over.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed, "Brother Mo, have you ever heard of the short video vertical composite field?"
"What the hell?"
…
Three days later, the crew of "Unexpectedly" started shooting in the suburbs of Yanjing.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in the mud closest to nature, Lin Mu's first film began to grow wildly like weeds all over the mountains and plains.
There was no startup ceremony, no professionals, not even the machine…
Although Luo Mo has a wide network of contacts, they are only in quantity but not in quality. What stands out is that he is a grassroots person.
The wedding photography, the makeup artist who did the makeup, the prop artist for the kindergarten activities, and even he himself had to come over and play a role for Lin Mu.
Luo Mo couldn't remember what Lin Mu told him at that time, but now he remembered that Lin Mu might have drugged him.
Otherwise, how could he come over with Lin Mu to fool around...
But now it's too late, people have been pulled to the suburbs, and it's too late to go back.
It doesn’t cost any money anyway, just think of it as relaxing with your little brother.
The crew had saved up, but there was nothing Luo Mo could do about the actor's problem.
It wasn't that he couldn't find anyone, but that Lin Mu was dissatisfied.
He said he would look for it himself.
Searching means finding.
but……
Luo Mo turned to look at a group of male college students running all over the mountain and sighed heavily.
"Where did you find this group of people? They are quite lively."
Lin Mu was drawing storyboards and said without raising his head: "From Yanjing Academy of Drama."
"Yan Xi?" Luo Mo was shocked: "How did you convince them?"
"They have summer homework, plus I stamp their internship certificates."
"..."
After a long silence, Luo Mo nodded, which was reasonable. No college student can refuse an internship certificate.
"When will the filming start? Are you still filming the script?"
To be honest, Luo Mo was not optimistic about Lin Mu's project.
Excluding all the unreliable aspects, the script alone is very unreliable.
To put it simply, Luo Mo couldn't understand it.
This kind of mentally retarded thing is an insult if you take a picture of it, don't show it to anyone!
"Now." Lin Mu ignored Luo Mo's hesitation, put down the ball pen, flicked the drawn storyboard, and shouted to the college student who ran away:
"Filming starts!"
